Contract Let for Reservoir and Pipe
Laying.
The City Council Avoids Racket
Over the Sidewalk Contract.


Quite crowd assembled in the coun
Gil room Tuesday evening, expecting that
there would be hot meeting of the
council on account of the sidewalk con-
tract, but 1t was doomed TO disappoint-
ment as the matter was hardly brought
up, and that not until near the close of
the meeting when discussion was soon
shut off by the adoption Of q motion to
adjourn.
The meeting was an adjourned one
held for the purpose Of considering the
report of the special city commissioners
on the sewer improvement, but great
deal of other business was transacted.
All the members were present except
Aldermen Kron and Schiman.
The commissioners reported that the
special assessment for the sewer inn
provement was made on the basis Of
81 .2l per front foot and amounted to
s., 674 against the adjacent property
owners, and about $4,000 against the
city at large. The amount against the
city cannot be exactly known until the
1 work is completed as some timber must
be left in the excavations which the city
must pay for. The report was accepted
and ordered published.
Special assessments against property
owners for the construction of sidewalks
during the year were read by the City
Recorder and the assessments ordered
made.
A petition was received from property
owners on Clark, Parson, Lincoln and
Fourth streets, asking that certain side
walks be laid on those streets. The side.
walks were ordered constructed and 9
hearing set for the first meeting of the
council in October. This petition wa'
originally presented year ago and hal
just been resurrected at the request o
some of the persons interested.
The sewer committee reported ad
verselS on the petition Ior the extension
: on South Front street and the report wal
adopted.
? The committee on waterworks report
t ed in favor of constructing a reservoir
: Immediately. The report was accepted
!, and communication from r. d. Hub

The Mayor stated that notice had been
served on him that suits had been
brought against the city on account OF
water damages by Mrs. Pye, John Arm
old, Mrs. Sontag and Hurt & Morrison.
The sidewalk contract matter was
brought up and some discussion indulg-
ed in, but no feeling was shown. Aid.
Boegen attempted to excuse his action
in the matter, but constantly evaded the
main points of the complaints against
him, thus carefully avoiding dangerous
ground. No action was taken and a
motion to adjourn was quickly carried,
which cut off all further wrangling. 1t
was evident from the first that the Mayor
and members of the council desired to
steer clear of any discussion that might
lead to in feeling and hot words.

SHAMROCKS FROM ERIN
REFLECTIONS ABOUT IRELAND.
AMBROSE BEATTY.

AMBROSE BEATTY.
Owhat is this disturbS my brain,
And why this heartfelt signing;
IT'S scenes of woe now behold,
Like leaves from b0ughs when dying.
Poor Erin weeps, her ensign pain
In gloom is floating sadly
It's emerald folds beneath Gods sun.
Still flaupts defiance proudly.
Her native hills are verdanr green;
Her wales are grand and pretty,
Her rivers sweep through peaceful meads,
Her birds still chant their ditty,
The bulrush on the Shannon's shore
Still bends in graceful splendor;
And the Boyne and Bann flows clear ant
bright
Mid scenes SURPRISING tender.
Her fields are white with native sheep.
AS sharp the clip the clover;
Her cattle Craze in sheltered glens,
When myriads numbers hover.
The wheat and barley Qlisten now,
Beneath the cloud-limmed shadow;
And green her fax in tasse] blue,
Still blooms along the meadow.
The ruined ancient church see,
Still crowned with living ivy;
And near it's shade my kindred sleep,
Secure from traitors envy.
Her priesthood faithful to their fiocks,
Still round the cross they rally,
And soothe the freedom Celtic race,
When patriot impulse sallies.
Her SWANS with limbs and forms erect.
To stands in posts of danger,
On sweep like lightning's vivid flash,
The Saxon Dane and strangers.
Her maidens fair with virtue blessed.
And crowned with native beauty;
And patriots firm, are ready still
To die in paths of duty.
How long, high heaven, willyou allow
Our Isle to be in slavery?
How long will Erin's sons submit
To landlords cursed knavery?
Then swing our banner to the breeze
With daring force united,
For God will bless the patriots cause,
And Irelanfs wrongs be righted.

prisoners handwriting, believed it to
be the same as that in the letters COM
